- The home-grown plants can be enjoyed as a small, living Christmas tree in your living room after about 6-7 years of growth.
- Orchid tree:
- Open the seed packet and put seeds in a glass with luke warm water for about 24 h.
- After 24 hours remove seeds from water and push the seeds about 1 cm below the surface of the granulate in the cube.
- Cover the planted seeds with a glass and make sure that the granulate doesn't dry up (avoid waterlogging!).
- Remove glass daily for 1 hour to give plant air and continue to water moderately. The orchid tree will begin to grow after 2-4 weeks.
- It will take at least 4-6 years of growth for the plant to start blooming.
As soon as the plant outgrows the ecocube, repot your plant by simply transplanting the entire ecocube into a regular flower pot with some soil, or outdoors. The ecocube will slowly decompose and turn into a valuable fertilizer for the plant. Alternatively, it is also possible to transplant your plant with its biodegradable planting cup into a regular flower pot with some soil, or outdoors. You can also use your empty cube as a pen holder!
